Ezra 9:2

2 ^eFor they have taken some of their daughters to be wives for themselves and for their sons, so that the ^fholy race ^{▼▼Hebrew offspring} has ^hmixed itself with the peoples of the lands. And in this faithlessness the hand of the officials and chief men has been foremost.”

Jeremiah 46:28

28 ⁱFear not, O Jacob my servant,

declares the Lord,
for I am with you.
I will make a full end of all the nations
to which I have driven you,
but of you I will not make a full end.
^jI will discipline you in just measure,
and I will by no means leave you unpunished.”

Amos 9:9

9 “For behold, I will command,
^kand shake the house of Israel among all the nations
as one shakes with a sieve,
but no pebble shall fall to the earth.

Christ the Hope of Jews and Gentiles

8 For I tell you that Christ ^lbecame a servant to the circumcised to show God’s truthfulness, in order ^mto confirm the promises given to the patriarchs, 9 and in order ⁿthat the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written,

^o“Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles,
and sing to your name.”
10 And again it is said,

^p“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.”

Ephesians 2:12-14

12 remember ^qthat you were at that time separated from Christ, ^ralienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to ^sthe covenants of promise, ^thaving no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were ^ufar off have been brought near ^vby the blood of Christ. 14 For ^whe himself is our peace, ^xwho has made us both one and has broken down ^yin his flesh the dividing wall of hostility
